First, I will post the overall rules, and then I will post the specifics about this week.

Original rules, as stated by Ubertuna:

It must fit the week's theme.
It must be submitted by the deadline.
It cannot have inappropriate language in it.
It cannot be stolen (if you plagiarize, we will find you).


Also:

The poem must be created for this contest
A user cannot win two weeks in a row (though everyone is welcome to submit every week!)
Only one submission per user will be accepted

As we all know, the winner will recieve a merit, and their poem will be featured on the _Poetry_ page.


OK, on to this week's topic...Again, we are having a style instead of a theme. Also, this week we are having TWO WEEKS to do it, instead of the usual one. Why? Because this will be an EPIC poem. Or, rather, a parody of an epic poem. Generally, epic poetry is very long, and tells the serious story of a heroic figure. Well, this week, the epic figure is YOU! Write a long poem (I'll leave the definition of 'long' up to you, but give it a good go) about the heroic story of you! It can be silly, serious, whatever... just have fun with it. You have two weeks, so have a great time!

Haiku:
time after time,
caterpillar climbs this broken stern

Yes, sorry I meant may. The reason I told you to tell Carlie is because she said she would give out the merit if we needed her to.

Phew! I can keep the smelling salts now. Btw, the judging will be punctual...or at least almost right? Unless something unexpected crops up...

I suppose you could make more than one poem but obly one can be judged and it might get confusing.

Life

Life is the morning sunrise,
The pounding ocean waves.
Life is the singing of the birds,
The music notes flowing on the staves.

Life is a new born baby,
Crying for it's mum.
Life is a grandpa,
Happy for his new grandson.

Life is the turning of the tide,
The departure of our friends.
Life is the parting of ways,
And how the road itself has bends.

But Life is the dawn of a new day,
Waking up to see the sunrise.
Life is the hope for tomorrow,
And reaching for ever blue skies.

La Fin.
